I admire system level programming, but I don't really belong there. At least for now.

I do not admire glue code "slop" programming, and do not want to be there, although my job history has forced to spend more time there than I would have liked.

I find joy in the middle space: using low level building blocks to create an architecture that enables simplified higher level application programming.

It requires some kind of awareness wrt the low level building blocks. You have to somewhat understand them, even if vaguely, though maybe you would not have known how to build them yourself.

It also requires some kind of wholistic thinking. You have to understand the system end-to-end, with awareness of both low level components and high level usage patterns.

It's the kind of synthesis I find the most joy out of engaging in.

How incredible is this! The type 1 diabetic I mentioned in an earlier post who, having adopted a strict plant free ketogenic diet, AKA the carnivore diet, started controlling his blood sugar and insulin usage immediately but then slowly needed less and less insulin to get and maintain perfect blood sugar levels until finally he didn't need any injectable insulin to achieve this.

On blood tests he was making optimal levels of insulin as well as optimal levels of C peptide, just as you would expect in someone who did not have T1D. Now he has had his follow-up HbA1c, and it is indeed optimal at 4.5%. you'll see in those other posts that the angry mob of haters say that this is not possible and they still require some insulin because they will not be able to achieve sub 5% HbA1c levels without it, but here's the proof that that is not the case, at least for this gentleman.

They will of course say that this was probably a misdiagnosis or LADA or still a honeymoon phase and it would be irresponsible and dangerous to not give insulin, even though they are making perfect amounts of insulin. This may or may not last, who's to say? Only time will tell. However this was not a misdiagnosis, or LADA, he was diagnosed with true T1D with an acute presentation of diabetic ketoacidosis with rapid weight loss, polyurea, and polydipsia, with a barley registering C peptide.

The difference here is that this person is on zero carbohydrates, not very low carbohydrates like some groups recommend because more carbs just equals the need for more insulin, and he's also plant-free. A plant free ketogenic diet, or the carnivore diet, has been shown time and time again to massively benefit autoimmune conditions, because in my opinion they address the root cause of the issue and eliminate the cause of the damage, thus stopping it from continuing and slowing the body to heal. If caught early enough when the beta cells are still alive then ostensibly in the right conditions they could regenerate to normal capacity. At least in this case this gentleman is making optimal amounts of insulin, with optimal amounts of C peptide, and has optimal blood sugar control and HbA1C.

If someone has a perfect insulin level naturally, and a perfect c-peptide level naturally, and maintains optimal blood sugar control naturally, why exactly would they need a bolus of insulin If their body is making physiologically normal amounts of insulin? Do non-diabetics on a ketogenic diet need to give themselves a bolus of insulin when they have a protein heavy meal to get their HbA1c under 5%? What about if it's 4.5%? What about non-diabetics who eat carbs? Should they be giving themselves exogenous insulin if HBA1C is above 5 as well? If not, why would you do it for someone with T1D who is now making objectively and demonstrably normal amounts of endogenous insulin with an HbA1c of 4.5% like this gentleman?

It's also important to remember that insulin effects hundreds of different physiological processes in your body and brain, it does not just drive energy into cells. When you elevate insulin to lower blood sugar you are also elevating insulin in all of these other regards. Continue to do this and you will get metabolic dysfunction and cause serious harm to yourself or your patient. So the blood sugar definitely needs to be controlled, but so does insulin.

The automatic insulin pump, pushed HEAVILY by the Diabetes Industry, can't compete with a low carb diet. Not even close. These autopancreas devices will run you high and constantly pump you with industrial doses of insulin....fattening you with a small benefit in blood sugars. The tragedy is that these systems work EXTREMELY well with a very low carb diet - that's just how injected insulin works.

I still find it odd in the IT world we are ok with for interviews doing hours of work and technical tests. Doctors who we trust with peoples lives and bodies are trusted that the education and experience is good they don’t pull out a fake human body and say ok I want you to perform a surgery and then go well actually your placement of the knife could have been 5 degrees better. Most experienced people have certificates and degrees for these postions and then asking them to spend hours more doing challenges and puzzles just because is so 😑

It's better to explicitly contain the complexity inside components, than obscuring it in the interactions between the components.

Don't attempt to obscure complexity

It's painful to navigate a codebase where everything is split into tiny little units that don't do anything.

[RD, Ph.D. @RRDDDDDDDDDD]

The foundational principle of diabetes management pushed by the Diabetes Industry is carb counting. And it is a total lie.

People often accuse me of being "childish". Mfs I'm the Peter Pan of Programming. I retain the pure joy of first discovery of programming you all forgot. Not corrupted by "Best Practices". That's why I still enjoy it while you having an existential crisis when Copilot goes down.

I believe that ketosis is
the default healthy nutritional state in which
humans existed for the last 2.5 million years
until the agricultural revolution ~12,000 years ago.

It seems that our metabolism evolved to be in this state.

Why is everyone so afraid of ketosis now?

Adolescent girl diagnosed type 1 diabetes 3 m. ago and put on insulin.
What causes t1d? Parasites.
I put her on the right supplements and now she’s pooping out parasites. Her glucose is down 90 points and has lowered insulin use. Hopefully we get 100% success… like I got before.

The only times pharmaceutical drugs have worked for me and not against me was when they were self-prescribed and I ordered them from some sketchy online pharmacy.

That tells you all you need to know about the medical profession.
